What is a Letter of Protection?
A Letter of Protection (LOP) is a document issued by an attorney to a healthcare provider, guaranteeing that medical bills will be paid out of a future personal injury settlement or judgment. It lets patients who don't have the funds available upfront get the emergency care they need right away.
When you present an LOP at our ER, your attorney takes on the responsibility for eventual payment, so you can focus on treatment and recovery instead of how to cover the bill today.
How it works.
- 1 You or your attorney reach out. Bring your Letter of Protection with you, or have your attorney's office send it to our billing team before or during your visit.
- 2 We verify and begin treatment immediately. There's no delay in care while paperwork is processed — you're seen and treated the same as any patient.
- 3 Our billing team coordinates with your attorney's office. Payment is settled from your case resolution — you won't receive collections or upfront bills during recovery.

Questions from Hurst patients & attorneys.
What is a Letter of Protection?
A document from your attorney guaranteeing that your medical bills will be paid from a future settlement or judgment, allowing you to receive treatment now without paying upfront.
Do I need an attorney to use an LOP?
Yes, a Letter of Protection is issued by your attorney. If you don't yet have one but expect to pursue a claim, our billing team can discuss your options.
Will this affect my settlement?
Medical bills covered under an LOP are typically paid out of your settlement or judgment before you receive your portion, which is standard practice for LOP arrangements.
What if my case doesn't settle?
LOP terms vary by attorney agreement. Your attorney can explain the specific terms of your arrangement, including what happens if your case doesn't result in a settlement.
Can I use an LOP for follow-up care too?
